China's Expanded Import of Genetically Modified Agricultural Products Helps People Worry

China's expansion of imports of genetically modified agricultural products has raised security concerns. The official said on the 14th that the safety certificate was issued strictly in accordance with the approval procedures. Agricultural experts also stated that the imported genetically modified agricultural products that are permitted to be imported are not harmful to health, and ordinary people still have doubts about the safety of genetically modified foods.

On the 13th, China announced the newly approved import safety certificate for three varieties of genetically modified soybeans, raising concerns in the industry. Peng Yufa, deputy chairman of the China Agriculture Genetically Modified Organism Safety Committee, revealed on the 14th that the approval process lasted for three years. Based on the safety assessments of other countries, China also conducted environmental safety and food safety verification tests. “Safety is guaranteed. ".

In an interview with a reporter from the China News Service on the 14th, Hu Dingxi, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Economic Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that genetically modified crops are called "the most rapidly applied crops in the history of modern agriculture." According to the latest global report on GM crops, there are 59 countries or regions in the world that have approved more than 2,000 applications for GM crops, of which food items account for almost half, far exceeding feed and other uses.

Hu Ding said that China's imports of genetically modified soybeans and corn are not directly consumed, but after processing and conversion, they are mainly used for oil extraction and animal feed. After long-term observation, no adverse effects on human health have been found.

Dai Jingrui, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, also said in an interview with the media that the fear of genetically modified foods "is completely unnecessary." He believes that the public’s fear of genetically modified foods is the result of demonization by some people. There are many advantages of transgenic crops, and promotion is the trend. Nowadays, the growing area of ​​corn and soybeans for genetic transformation in the world is 100 times that of the previous one. Three-quarters of the countries produce or import GM agricultural products.

Despite this, many Chinese people are still worried about the safety of genetically modified agricultural products. Chen Sheng, a Beijing citizen, told reporters that he was very worried about the risk of genetic mutation in genetically modified foods. "I still like the rice and soybeans in the black land in the northeast. It is green and natural, and it is safe to eat."

In a survey conducted in Beijing, more than 90% of users believe that the safety of genetically modified foods is unknown, and 87.28% of people choose to resist GM foods.

Driven by the demand, in recent years, the number of China's imports of genetically modified agricultural products has increased. Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told a China News Service reporter that China’s demand for edible oil and animal feed has continued to grow and demand for imported genetically modified agricultural products has continued to expand. Last year, China imported more than 50 million tons of soybeans and over 500 Millions of tons of corn are mostly genetically modified crops.

Li Guoxiang said that China has successively approved import safety certificates for four crops, including genetically modified cotton, genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified corn, and genetically modified canola. However, except for the approval of the cultivation of genetically modified cotton, the use of imported genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified corn, and genetically modified canola is limited to Raw materials for processing cannot be grown in the country.

Some Chinese producers are worried about the large number of imported genetically modified agricultural products that “strikes”. According to Wang Xiaoyu, vice chairman of the Soybean Association of Heilongjiang Province in China's main soybean producing area, Heilongjiang uses traditional non-genetically modified soybeans as raw materials for processing and processing. However, in 1996, soybean imports accounted for more than 1 million tons, and by 2012 it had increased by more than 50 times. In the match with imported soybeans, genetically modified soybeans "are somewhat defeated."

Hu Dingwei suggested that domestically produced non-genetically modified agricultural products should give full play to their natural advantages, highlight the concept of non-genetically modified genes, and conduct differentiated competition to provide consumers with more choices.
